2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V Performance Mods Discussion, Project "VANQUISH" Widebody kit for CTS-V in Cadillac CTS-V Series Forum - 2004 - 2007; Factory fender is already rolled. You'd have to put a serious pull on it to get it as wide as ...

I'm fine with that to a certain extent, it really depends on where the measurements end up. What I was picturing was rolling the rear fender lips flat, maybe do a slight pull, and fit the widest rear wheel I could. If that same ~11" wheel, mounted up front, comes out almost flush on the front fender that you're designing, I would likely buy a set. I'm excited to see the finished product!

This is my car before we started the build with the wheels and tires, the front is a 11in wide the rear is a 12in wide wheel even if you try to put the 11in in the rear you are still going to to have to pull an awful lot. If I am not mistaken some have tried to put a 10.5in in the rear and ran into some issues.It is also going to depend on the wheel manufacture.

The front fender is close to the tire but it is not flush due to the suspension travel that will occur on the track.Also you will need the rocker panels because the way we design them was to flow into the fender. I don't want to discourage you but this kit is designed to mold from the front to the rear. When you see photos you will see what I mean. Maybe you can think of something we haven't and make the front work without the rear. Untill then Stay Tuned......

The only photos that I have now is of the Jig's .Because my car will not be fully finished untill April (Engine,interior roll bar painting etc...). The fabricator and I are considering releasing some photos of the jigs that were fitted on the car before we made the final molds. If we do this it will give you guys a real good idea of what this will look like on the car( Minus the rear wing and minus the front splitter) The pricing will be along with the photos.. I will know this week if we are going to do this. Which means to answer your question Early next week.

We are considering it because a friend of mine who has a V1 is a drag racer.

We will have to redesign the rocker panel due to the fact of the deletion of the front fender.
